Favorite Quote: “It was my fantasy come true. A Stuckey’s that served shots.”
Mo Wenstein has moved to Grundy, Alaska to escape her over bearing but well meaning mother and an ended engagement. While she expects the snow, the cold, and the eccentric population, she never expected a werewolf. A sexy werewolf at that.
Cooper Graham is an Alpha werewolf living in self exile from his clan. It’s love at first sniff for Cooper, but something is stalking and killing the inhabitants of Grundy and Cooper fears it may be him.
Mo might not know all that much about werewolves…but she knows her man. And her money say someone else is snacking on the fine folks of Grundy. Now all she has to do is convince Cooper.
I adore Molly Harper. From her contemporaries to her paranormals, Ms Harper writes rich snarky hilarious stories filled with strong willed females and prickly smexy alphas. How To Flirt With A Naked Werewolf is a delightful light hearted paranormal romance that uses dry humor, endearing characters, and some crazy plots to write enjoyable stories you won’t want to put down. Her characters are hysterically eccentric and provide much eye rolling and snorts of laughter as you slip smoothly into their lives. The storyline is relatively simple and fast paced with an enjoyable conversational writing style.
Mo is wickedly funny with her calm manner and dead on one liners. Raised by somewhat domineering hippie parents; she has strived her whole life for capitalism, government regulations, and processed meat products. She comes to Grundy to “find herself” after her fiancée dumps her and instead finds her place in a quirky town filled with interesting people, a job, and a new love interest. With her quick mind and even quicker mouth, Mo had me rolling with laughter from page one. Her way of dealing with everything is through sarcasm, expensive lingerie, and plenty of fattening desserts.
Cooper is the perfect male Alpha. Over protective, smexy, and exasperating. Gruff and snarly he acts like a 5 year old who shows his love for a girl by pulling her hair and calling her, “poo-poo head.” The laughs just keep coming when Mo discovers Cooper’s secret and decides she can deal with a little furriness and howling in a man. The slow evolution of his and Mo’s relationship is a delightful journey filled with humor, snarkiness,a nd lots of hawt sexy chemistry.
As Cooper sauntered to the door, I saw he was about to make one of his patented oh-so-clever parting remarks, so I beat him to the punch.
“You’re still naked!” I called, smiling nastily. “It’s cold outside. Expect shrinkage.”
The supporting characters-from the wild and crazy town inhabitants to Cooper’s insane pack members- add life and non stop humor to the story.
Please, Lord, let me never hear the words “Jager ‘n’ eggs” again. Breakfast should not burn going down.
The ending surprised me as I wasn’t expecting the villain to be who it was. Ms. Harper kept me in the dark very well on that issue.The romance flourishes and ends predictably but with a few twists that adds to the overall thrill.
If your looking for a wickedly funny and sexy paranormal romance that will having you laughing out loud then I highly recommend picking up Molly Harper’s How To Flirt With A Naked Werewolf.

Love Molly Harper books!!! Can't wait to read this one :)
Oh Yay! This is on my TBR list. Might have to move it up! Love Molly Harper's stuff
It sounds so cute :D Yes I do want to read about naked weres
I absolutely adored the characters. So quirky! And the romance really appealed to me as well.
My own review was a bit less positive than yours, though, Tori – largely because I found the middle of the book a little too drawn out and then the ending smacked me over the head.
But honestly, I read Molly Harper for the snark, not for the plot. Well, the snark and the amazingly fun characters, and this book had both of those in spades.
I liked this one too – she was funny and light, not all deep & emo into the "were" stuff. I would compare as similar in humor & snark to Dakota Cassidy – which is what I was hoping for going in.
That said some of the "twists" at the end left me cold, was good but not stuff of all time faves. I'll definitely try this author again!
I'm starting to see this one around the blogosphere and it does sound fun. Sounds like a great read. :)
Thanks!
OMIGOD!
I need my copy, like, yesterday!
